Your Team, Your Impact

Marvell switching solutions in NSX team have been driving a change in networks from the traditional methods of simply moving bits to delivering exciting services and applications. By delivering a stream of technical innovations through a diverse set of fast‐growing product lines, Marvell technology is powering the next‐generation network.

What You Can Expect

The Marvell Network Switching Group (NSX) is seeking a software engineering leader to manage the next generation of software product offerings for Enterprise and Data Center Networks. You will play a key role in defining, implementing, and leading teams to deliver our switch silicon SDK, ecosystem open software package, and/or network operating systems software.

For both Enterprise and Data Center networks, a leadership semiconductor product line requires a "deployment-first" view of the customer end-market application. This starts with an understanding of the network level service offering, how it is partitioned into cloud and in-field system software, and an appreciation for the development constraints customers face in delivering a broad and differentiated product line efficiently and across a wide base of applications. Working in partnership with the product team, you will develop, communicate, and implement a vision for a software team which can deliver solutions to these challenges, influence the evolution of the software product architecture, plus define, deliver, and maintain a software release roadmap which delivers to tier-1 customer requirements.

This role requires strong technical and management insight to balance staffing tradeoffs with technical/roadmap considerations and to set organization plans which match customer needs to team capacity. The leader is required to drive long term staffing plans and organizational budgets anticipating customer needs based on market trends in the absence of direct customer feedback.
